To Be or Not To Be ~ Eccentric.

To be or not to be..Me!!!

My name is Cleo and

Some people say I am "An eccentric old bird"

I say to them "That is simply absurd"

If you think just Because

 I like to be chauffeured on a bike

Then I reply

"This is my privilege and something that I like"

I am after all

Rather rare and exotic

Some say my feathers

Are even erotic.

I wear them with flair

Don't you agree?

I am an Electus Parrot

A Beautiful Native from Tropical New Guinea

And Yes I can Fly as Free as Can be

But I choose to be the pampered pet

And

Not just another bird sitting in some swaying palm tree.

No way!

That would be too common

For an eccentric beauty

Like me.

  6. Nice picture nice beak
    Sitting there looking all so meek
    But that straight on stare
    Begs me beware
    Not of your facial look
    But can, and do you, cook????

  11. Lololol Milli...cute poem and bird. Reminds me of a cockatiel an office mate of mine had years ago. I never thought birds had personality until "Chip"came along. He would perch on my shoulder while I did paperwork and sometimes try to grab my pen. And he definitely had personality!

  14. Dear Friends I need to let you know that Cleo is a Girl.
    She does have a Big Personality and belongs to a local man. I met her one day at the super market. Like it was said by Joe, Birds sure can have personalities and be very eccentric as well. She is a beautiful creature.
